Safety standards advice

Published on 7th January 2015, the new standard comes into effect from 1 July 2015 when the 22,000 BRC certificated food manufacturers and processors across 123 countries will need to start preparing for audits against issue 7.

Loma is offering advice and guidance to managers and operators at BRC certificated sites who might need to update their inspection processes or equipment to meet the latest recommendations.

Tony Bryant, UK sales manager at Loma, said: "The increasing risks associated with food quality and safety has been underlined by several very high profile scares in the last few years. The BRC Global Standard is used as the benchmark for quality management systems across thousands of manufacturing sites around the world and helps food companies demonstrate their food safety credentials by having robust procedures in place.”
